The FM radio doesn't just play your favorite stations; it also lets you record FM programming onto the device's memory, so you can catch "Car Talk" or your favorite late-night program if you missed it the first time. Travelers will also dig the integrated clock, which includes an alarm for waking to your favorite music. And thanks to the direct encoding function, you can record from such external sound sources as receivers, CD players, cassette decks, and other audio players with the touch of a button. The files can then be saved in multiple folders, which can be selected and played as if in a Windows environment. Other features include six equalizer presets, USB mass storage capability, upgradeable firmware, and SRS WOW 3D virtual surround sound.
The B153 connects to your PC via its USB 2.0 connection (cable included), which features download speeds of up to one second per song, and is compatible with Microsoft Windows 98 SE, Me, 2000, and XP or Mac OS 9.x or 10.x or higher operating systems. Plus, the device requires no extra battery or recharger, as the advanced battery system is easily recharged through the USB port. The B153 measures 2.56 by 1.75 by 0.84 inches (W x H x D), weights 2.3 ounces, and is backed by a one-year warranty.

 Awesome battery life - easy to read screen - small and comfortable in the hand, This review is from: mobiBLU B153 1 GB MP3 Player (Black) (Electronics) I bought this probably around two years ago and I totally love it. I don't understand how it never caught on in the market. The screen is very crisp and clear and easy to read - it scrolls automatically for long names. The sound it fantastic. I like the fact that it shows up a normal drive when plugged in through the USB; I don't like MP3 players or any device for that matter that requires installing software and/or drivers. The device does not do any kind of organization of the music by artist or genre etc. It's simply a folder system just like the hard drive on your PC. You navigate to a folder and then you can play all the music in the folder. You can also create a play list to play songs from various folders. If you create a playlist of all the music in all the folders, then you have the ability to play all your music in random order. Unfortunately, you probably have to be a techie kind of person to figure out how to do some of these things...Read more My Secret Little iPod-Killer!, By Negril Jerry (Atlanta GA) - See all my reviews This review is from: mobiBLU B153 1 GB MP3 Player (Black) (Electronics) Last summer Wired magazine featured flash mp3 players and this little unit beat out the iPod Nano as their recommended choice. I bought one directly from Mobiblu and could not possibly have been more satisfied. Wish I could buy another, but it's no longer in production and rare to find used online.
Features: FM Stereo (or mono) tuner, voice recording, line-in recording (the PERFECT way to make 128kbs mp3's of your old albums and tapes!), volume boost setting, FIVE-BAND EQ, drag-and-drop file loading (NO software required - it's another drive when plugged in via USB!), Podcast ready (which I have never used), 8 edit- and save-able EQ settings (you know, "jazz", "pop" "classical" etc), SRS brand sound enhancement, nice solid construction In Wired's "pro & con" section they started with "fantastic sound quality" which I though might be a major consideration for an audio device, duh. The only con they could invent was that the little joystick control was stubby...Read more |
